that the cities of Mazatlan and Sanbash have

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Indications that Caharel VIII Be Made q
Scapegoat for the Decorations Scandal.
LONDON, Oct 13.-Paris is still excited over
the decoration scandal The governments is try
ing hard to hush the affair up and although, as
Gen. Boulanger insists. and many think that he
is the one aimed at, there are far too many per-
sons, and they all of prominence and social
standing, TO bring the matter to any issue. It
is quite likely that General Caffarel will be made
the scapegoat, and there the affair will rest.
The traffic in decorations is too old q
story to be the means of dis
rupting political party. and the
government will assuredly conceal their morti-
fcation. and their desire to punish the guilty
will go unrequited A Cabinet council has de-
ciGed to place General Caffa~el on the retired
list of the army. The decree for the execution
of the decision will be submitted by General
Ferron Minister of War. to President Grevy for
his signature. General Caffarel will be de-
deprived of his decoration of the Legion of
Honor, and his pension. granted for thirty nine
years service in the army, will be reduced from
$500 francs TO 4, 900 francs.
